Mace Fobes → THE LAUNDRONAUTS: Thanks Gareth - crazy to think you'd find our garbage inspiring! Rager and I mostly just sit around here in Missouri, waiting for Deke to put together U.Y. reunion shows. Missouri isn't exactly a hopping place for garage rock, really. You guys are pretty genius!

Mace Fobes → THE LAUNDRONAUTS: Glad to see we were of some use...it was pretty fun playing with the Young Fresh Fellows and hanging out with Nardwuar and company. Gotta say those were some pretty lean times. I just remember a burger at the Skookum Chief cost like $8 US!

THE LAUNDRONAUTS: Aw, man, your "garbage" was extremely inspiring for an impressionable young Gareth! I have old UY VHS tapes plus tapes of you guys on "It's Happening" (surfboards crashing down!). I used to make special trips down from Canada to see UY in Washington. Glad... moreAw, man, your "garbage" was extremely inspiring for an impressionable young Gareth!
